Foo Fighters have taken over as the top rock act in the US, breaking a record held by Metallica with their latest single "Asking for a Friend". This achievement marks Foo Fighters' fifteenth number one hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. What was previously shared among just 14 acts is now all theirs.
Grohl-led outfit has been delivering singles over the past few months, both "Today's Song" and "Asking for a Friend," which have become extremely popular in the US on rock radio. “Asking for a Friend” climbs to No.1 on yet another tally this week, further increasing Foo Fighters' lead on that ranking.
This milestone marks the 15th career number one hit for the group, moving them up to a total of four on all-time rankings. "Today's Song" improved its standing on Mainstream Rock Airplay by just one space from No.2 to No.1 this week.
The chart is dominated by Shinedown with 20 number one hits. However, Foo Fighters broke the tie with Metallica after both band had 14 wins. Shinedown still leads as the only act to have achieved more than 20 number one hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.
“Something from Nothing” led the group for 13 weeks in November 2014. That is twice as long as their second-longest winner, "Rescued," “Shame Shame,” and “The Pretender” are all tied for that distinction, with half a dozen turns in the uppermost spot apiece.
Foo Fighters also dominate a pair of Billboard charts. The group's single "Asking for a Friend" is at No. 1 on two separate charts: Mainstream Rock Airplay and Rock & Alternative Airplay.

Dave Grohl is like the king of rock music, their new single "Asking for a Friend" is so fire 
and it's amazing they broke that record held by Metallica, those guys have been rocking out for ages 
. it's crazy to think about how long it took them to reach this milestone 15 number one hits on the Billboard chart, but now they're dominating everything in sight 
I mean Shinedown is still the act with the most number one hits, but Foo Fighters are definitely giving them a run for their money 
.
i'm so hyped for Foo Fighters! they're literally crushing it rn 
and it's amazing to see them break that record held by Metallica 
i'm loving how they're dominating those charts, especially with their other hit "Today's Song" 
. On one hand, it's awesome that they've broken a record held by Metallica - those guys are legends! But on the other hand, I kinda feel like Shinedown is being robbed of their crown 
... I mean, have you heard some of Shinedown's songs? They're pretty epic 
. And what's up with Foo Fighters' "Asking for a Friend" being on two separate charts at once? Is that even possible? 
... or maybe it's actually genius 
. Ugh, I'm confused now 
!
they've literally broken every record in the book now their "Asking for a Friend" song is still killing it 
but I'm kinda bummed Shinedown is still leading those chart wins, like what even is that? 
. I mean, I'm glad Shinedown still leads in terms of number one hits, but Foo Fighters are definitely the act to beat right now 
. Maybe we'll even get a world tour out of it 
i mean, Dave Grohl is a genius when it comes to crafting hits that just resonate with people on a deep level 
and let's be real, who doesn't love a good rock anthem that gets stuck in your head for days? 
it's not surprising they're dominating the charts right now 
. I think it's no surprise they're killing it though - Dave Grohl is a rock god 
. But what's interesting to me is how Shinedown still leads with 20 number one hits - I guess you can't beat consistency 
. Can't wait to see what they do next! 
. And 15 number one hits on Billboard? That's insane! Shinedown might be leading the pack in terms of total number one hits, but Foo Fighters are like the ultimate rock machine 
! I mean, back in my day, we used to listen to Metallica all the time, but now it's like they're playing the same old songs over and over... I guess "rock" is just a different word for what's trendy these days 
. But seriously, Dave Grohl and co are killing it! Their latest single is so catchy and stuff 
. I'm not sure if they'll ever surpass Metallica's record, but hey, they're definitely giving it a shot 
. Don't get me wrong, Dave Grohl is still a legend, but where's the innovation? The music industry is all about creating something new, not rehashing old hits. And another thing, what's with all these singles being released back-to-back? It feels like they're trying to flood the system and break records just for the sake of it 
. I mean, I'm happy for them and all, but can't we have some new talent emerging instead of Foo Fighters dominating everything? 
their 15th number one hit on Billboard is seriously inspiring 
and now they've broken that 14-act rule 
. It's amazing how they can still bring the heat after all these years - their fans are so lucky to have them! 
. It's like, how can they keep producing this level of quality music? 
I've always been a fan of Foo Fighters' music and it's awesome to see them killing it in the charts. But you know who's still ahead? 
Shinedown, with 20 number one hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Still gonna have to give that guy some props!
But 15 number one hits on Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart? That's impressive, no doubt. They must be doing something right! 
Anyway, on to Foo Fighters' next move... will we see them live soon?
